No, I never would sew my own but when I found that expensive really does fit and feel better. I discovered TJ Max and Ross. I don't know if they have these in your part of the world but they take highend name brands and sell them for little more than Wal-Mart prices. I am now willing to spend 3 dollars a pair to get an 8 dollars a pair undies. Same with bras. 15 dollars for the $50 priced bra. Quality with enough money left over to buy more fabric.
